In simple, darkly faceted stories, Philander Deming writes as a
person whose childhood knowledge of the Adirondacks has been honed
to a fine sense for its potential human tragedy. In this, the first
collection of his best work, a haunting vision of the Adirondacks
comes through that is hard to forget. Deming's themes revolve
around deception and self-deception, loneliness, and good
intentions gone awry. Most of his stories occur just before or
after the Civil War. In almost every story, however, Deming shows
his characters looking back towards the mountains, from the Mohawk
or St. Lawrence Valley or from lonely settlements on the edge of
the forest, or across Lake Champlain.
